Shoplifting: Do I have to pay damages to SODA?

Questioner

I committed a shoplifting and have to appear in court. I have already received the summons. Now I get a letter from SODA that I have to pay 181 euros for damages suffered by the shopkeeper. Is this legal while I still have to appear. Waiting for your answer greetings,

Lawyer

No, you can request a postponement pending the decision, you can also request afterwards to limit the damages to 0 (due to lack of money) or to reduce them.
